Everything came crashing down on that one summer day when Jongho was left alone with San.

Jongho was lounging around lazily in his room after they finally have finished their schedules and comeback activities, the group finally getting a well-deserved break and relaxing at the dorm.

It was inching closer to summer, and it was hot. The electric fan was blowing a cool breeze towards the lightly clothed boy, the oversized thin white t-shirt and black sports shorts flitting slightly in the presence of the wind it created.

He was laying down on the bed, scrolling around on his phone like any other day off of his, the soft lull of the electric fan making his eyes flutter shut before he catches himself to stay awake and not let the phone fall flat onto his face. He moves closer into the embrace he has over the big stuffed brown teddy bear beside him, splaying his legs over it as he hugs the plush closer to his chest.

Jongho hummed to himself as he just lets go of his phone and instead decides that the teddy bear is more important, burying his face into the softness of the toy, sighing with a smile as he lets the bliss of the feeling of it wash over him. Jongho was really glad he got to receive this plush from his members for Valentine's Day.

"So soft and fluffy..." another dreamy sigh releases from his lips.

The boy was too immersed in a wonderland state as he doesn't hear the sound of shouts happening outside in the living room where everyone else was located. They probably were having a Mortal Kombat session with each other, with Yunho slamming them each one by one with his sickening use of Johnny Cage. To this day, no one knows how the hell the man could even win with that guy, let alone brutally destroy his opponent within 5 seconds of the match. Years of skill, he guesses.

"Yah! Yunho-ya! I've had enough of this! You can't just keep winning every round! Let some of us win tooooo~!!" Wooyoung whines, just like how he always does and looks up at the taller man with puppy eyes.

"Well, maybe if you practiced more and got to know your character, you would win~" the brown-haired said with his tongue sticking out at him.

"Why, you!" Wooyoung was about to throw hands, when Seonghwa decided enough was enough, this was their day-off after so long, he terribly did not want to deal with another childish feud between the members. So, he did what he does best. Compromise.

Putting both his arms out in front of the two to keep them from going off on one another, he brings out his "I am your hyung, you are going to listen to me whether you like it or not. I love you." voice. "Stop! Listen, this is our first break after a long time, and we should be spending it without fighting. Why don't we go out and eat together instead since we've barely had the time before to hang out?"

Noises of approval and 'yays' filled the room as everyone rushed to go out the door and out to their favorite chicken place down the street and maybe drink some soju to celebrate this long-coming break.

Hongjoong does a headcount first before they make their way out, already minusing Jongho as the boy had mentioned earlier that he wanted to be cooped up in his room for the day to finally bask and revel in the comfort of his bed after so long. He also notices that San stays behind, left sitting on the couch with a thoughtful look on his face.

"San, are you not coming with?" the leader asks with that face that screams "I'll understand and respect your decision, no matter what it is."

The mentioned man seems to snap out of his trance towards the older, a small smile spreading across his lips.

"Ah no hyung. I'll probably stay behind. Someone's gotta watch over the baby, yknow!" The green-streak haired man says jokingly, reassuring Hongjoong that he would be ok.
